global = {s1*4 \bar "|." }I very rarely include s1*4 \bar "|." in my global variable -- is this good practice?
When managing a score with many time signature changes, it's really useful. You only have to make (or correct) a typo-ed time signature once to fix it.
That's something I learned from Kieren ^.^
c4.(\p d8) e4-. e-. | % 1 e8( d f e d4) r | % 2Why manually number the bars? It's true that users can delete them easily, but they should be very familiar with one-bar-per-line by now. I definitely like the explicit bar checks, though. :)
It helps with finding where you are in a score if you, like me, compose on paper, and then transpose it to lilypond, I always number my bars on paper, and when I transfer things to lilypond, it's a great tool to know *exactly* where a particular bar is. Especially when the lilypond input looks nothing like what's on my paper. I also start each bar with an explicit time, so if I miss one, the time at the beginning of the next measure is correct, and I can find the error easily, especially if the error happens to create complete measures so the bar checks don't catch it.
